Drive knob can be recorded and played back to add unique textural effects to your sound. Infinite Jets can save Drive, Tone, and Dry settings as part of a User Preset. The pedal features two save slots for custom User Presets. Recorded knob movements, LFO settings, and all other pedal parameters can be saved and recalled later.
CALIBRATION In order for Infinite Jets to accurately track the dynamics of your playing, it’s necessary to calibrate the pedal to each new instrument that you will be using. It only takes a few seconds and can be done mid set or even mid song.
GETTING STARTED To get started with Infinite Jets, begin by calibrating the pedal as described in the previous section. For a starting point, set the controls to the following: Env Shape Square Wave Env Time Drive Dimension Voice Blur / 0 Set the Trigger Mode switch to Mono.

To record the movement of the Dimension control, hold down the Bypass (center) footswitch and twist the Dimension knob. When you release the Bypass footswitch, Infinite Jets will begin to play back and loop this movement. As you record, you’ll see the MOD indicator light turn red.
INPUTS & OUTPUTS 9V POWER INPUT 9 volt 2.1 mm barrel connector, center negative 200 mA minimum The pedal accepts a standard 9v, center-negative, 2.1mm DC barrel connector power supply. For best results, use a transformer isolated “wall-wart” power supply, or a pedalboard power supply with multiple isolated outputs.
INDICATOR LIGHTS Sampler Channel A : Indicates the output volume of Sampler Channel A, which can be triggered automatically by your playing or manually via the A footswitch. Input Signal Indicator : Indicates the volume of your instrument’s signal. This light will also display the automation applied to the Drive control if knob movements have been recorded.
VOICE PRESETS BLUR These presets “freeze” your note or chord, but remove the original attack and decay characteristics, allowing the sample to be reshaped into a new sound. The Blur presets are useful for creating hazy, atmospheric textures, pads underneath lead playing, and many other unique sounds.

VOICE PRESETS CONTINUED GLITCH These presets chop the incoming signal into looping fragments and reassemble them in two distinct ways: Glitch A creates short loops out of incoming notes or chords and allows the user to choose one of four sample playback lengths. Glitch B adds a random element by storing notes or chords in separate chunks of audio and playing them back at random (or controlled) intervals.
Page 10
VOICE PRESETS CONTINUED SWELL Swell presets A & B allow for the use of Infinite Jets’ dynamics processing to add dramatic volume effects to your playing. Create volume swells or use Repeat Waveform to create tremolo effects. The effected signal is then fed into a delay (controlled by Dimension) which can be modulated by LFO, envelope, or recorded knob movement.
Poly trigger mode. In Poly trigger mode, Infinite Jets will still alternate between Sampler channels A & B, and both channels sustain at the same time. In this mode it is possible to create very unusual harmonies and textural effects.

CONTROLS CONTINUED ENVELOPE SHAPE AND ENVELOPE TIME Envelope Shape selects the type of waveform used to shape the output volume of each sampler channel. The user can choose from one of six waveforms. This control works in tandem with the Envelope Time control, which determines the duration of the waveform once the envelope has been triggered.
Page 13
CONTROLS CONTINUED VOICE Voice allows you to choose between one of four sampling effect styles, comprising ten individual presets and two User save locations. For more on this see Section 6, Voice Presets. DIMENSION Dimension controls a different distinct set of parameters for each preset voice. Dimension can also be controlled by the internal LFO, the envelope generator, or by recording knob movements to create a wide variety of sounds.

DRIVE Drive controls the amount of overdrive applied. Infinite Jets uses a digitally-controlled, analog overdrive stage at the output. This means that although it is an analog overdrive, the control’s value can be saved as part of a User preset, or automated by recording knob movements.

CONTROLS CONTINUED FOOTSWITCHES ■ BYPASS FOOTSWITCH / RECORD KNOB MOVEMENTS Tapping the center Bypass Footswitch toggles Infinite Jets’ true-bypass relay switching. Holding the Bypass Footswitch will allow the Dimension or Drive controls’ movements to be recorded and looped. For more on this, see Knob Recording.
SECONDARY CONTROL FUNCTIONS INTERNAL LFO (LOW-FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR) The internal LFO provides a continuously sweeping control signal that can be used to modulate the Dimension control. You can choose between one of six waveforms for this control signal and can set the rate at which it sweeps. The LFO allows you to add great complexity to the preset sounds by constantly shifting the Dimension control in a predictable way.
Page 17
■ LFO MODE / ENVELOPE GENERATOR Infinite Jets also allows an internal Envelope Generator to be used to modify the Dimension control instead of the LFO. The Envelope Generator controls the Dimension control in the same manner as the LFO, but instead of providing a continuous sweep it only plays once each time a new note is triggered.
Page 18
SECONDARY CONTROL FUNCTIONS CONTINUED MANUAL TRIGGER FOOTSWITCH MODES When using the Manual trigger modes, the A and B footswitches trigger capture of new notes or chords. By default they are set to Toggle operation (push once to turn on, push again to turn off).
Page 19
SECONDARY CONTROL FUNCTIONS CONTINUED CHANGING FOOTSWITCH MODES To switch between Momentary, Latching, and Toggle operation, hold Footswitch B while changing the Trigger Mode switch. Flip the switch left to Poly for Toggle operation (yellow lights), to the middle Mono setting for Latch operation (red lights), or to the right Manual setting for Momentary operation (blue lights).

SECONDARY CONTROL FUNCTIONS CONTINUED TONE / MASTER VOLUME In addition to the Drive control, Infinite Jets features a digitally-controlled-analog Tone and Master Volume section. Tone controls the amount of high frequency rolloff at the output. To adjust the Tone, hold Footswitch A and turn the Drive control.

A & B while powering on the pedal. Infinite Jets will erase any customizations and return to its original preset content. This process may take up to a minute. Do not disconnect from power until this process has finished.
To record the movement of the Drive control, hold down the Bypass (center) footswitch and twist the Drive knob. When you release the Bypass footswitch, Infinite Jets will begin to play back and loop this movement. As you record, you’ll see the top center indicator light turn red.
SAVING PRESETS Once you’ve found a sound you like you can save these settings for later recall. Hold down both the A & B footswitches, and turn the Voice knob to either User A or User B, and hold down the A &...
